From Cloud to Edge: Vision and Challenges for Service Orchestration
From Cloud to Edge: Vision and Challenges for Service Orchestration

Invited by my colleague Waldir Moreira, I had the opportunity to present a high-level overview of my research direction and the inherent problems. I started off from Edge Computing, and the advantages it brings for processing sensor data, and connected to current developments in the context of Computing Continuum architectures, that try to combine the best from multiple worlds.
